Akademie der Tonkunst, München

Academy of Music, Munich

Name given from 1892 to what had been since 1846 the Königliche Musikschule in Munich.
This was perhaps an appointment that Schenker's pupil Otto Vrieslander, who lived in
Munich from 1904 to 1924, attempted to engineer. There is much in Schenker's
correspondence and diaries around 1918–19 concerning the possibility of emigration to
Germany in order to teach in Munich, probably at the Akademie der Tonkunst, e.g.: "By the
time I am finished with [Op. 101] I hope to know for certain
whether I am going to Munich, in what capacity, whether I shall be giving lectures there
at the Academy or elsewhere ..." (WSLB 310, Dec 17, 1919).
